The films Boyz n the Hood (1991) and Kidulthood (2006) explore the current problems of the South Central and Grove hoods respectively, while presenting the effects of the historical construction of these spaces. Both are written and directed by black men, set and shot in the areas in which they grew up, John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood (Boyz) and Noel Clarke’s Kidulthood intimately reveal the nuances of their hoods. Through analysing the two hood films’ depiction of race and space, the socio-economic effects on race relations in London and LA can be examined. The “Great Migration” in the US, out of the South from 1910-1930, due to obtainable wealth in factory jobs, caused a shift in the African American identity; black people were not simply associated with the South’s con- 4 notations of slavery.

Edwards University of Western Ontario Abstract No abstract provided. Keywords African-American cinema, Hughes Brothers, Allen Hughes, Albert Hughes, hood film Recommended Citation Edwards, Timothy J. (2011) "Realer than Reel: Menace II Society and the 1990’s Hood Film Cycle," Kino: The Western Undergraduate Journal of Film Studies: Vol. 2 : Iss. 1 , Article 3. Edwards: Realer than Real Realer than Reel: Menace II Society and the 1990s Hood Film Cycle by Timothy J. Edwards The convergence of numerous industrial and social factors in the late 1960s saw Hollywood studios for the first time invest in films produced with African-Americans as the target audience. This wave of Black-focused product eventually became known as ‘Blaxploitation’ Cinema. Blaxploitation films use cinematic devices like: location shooting, hand held camera, and sync-sound along with a showcasing of distinctly Black cultural imagery, featuring urban fashion, slang, Black nationalist politics, and of course Black popular music to create a Black ghetto chronotope which is common to all Blaxploitation films (Massood 117). While the Black ghetto chronotope has its roots in Blaxploitation, it has since become an important tool which New Black Cinema directors like the Hughes brothers further develop to depict the streets of Watts with a sharp and uncompromising sense of realism. Allen and Albert Hughes spoke of being “outraged by the Hollywood sentimentality” of the hugely successful Boyz n the Hood (1991), which was released two years before Menace II Society (1993) (Massood 162).

  • The New-Brutality Film
    New Brutality final.Qrk 20/7/05 9:14 am Page 1 Gormley The 1990s saw the emergence of a new kind of American Paul Gormley cinema, which this book calls the ‘new-brutality film.’ Violence and race have been at the heart of Hollywood cinema since its birth, but the new-brutality film was the first kind of popular American cinema to begin making this relationship explicit. The rise of this cinema coincided with the rebirth of a long-neglected strand of film theory, which seeks to unravel the complex relations of affect between the screen and the viewer. This book analyses and connects both of these developments, arguing that films like Falling Down, Reservoir Dogs, Se7en and Strange Days sought to reanimate the affective impact of white The New-Brutality Film Hollywood cinema by miming the power of African-American and particularly hip-hop culture. The book uses several films as Race and Affect in Contemporary Hollywood Cinema case-studies to chart these developments: • Falling Down both appropriates of the political black rage of the ‘hood film and is a transition point between the white postmodern blockbuster and the new-brutality film. Paul Gormley is Senior Lecturer and Course Tutor The New-BrutalityFilm • Gangsta films like Boyz N the Hood and Menace II Society for Media Studies in the provided the inspiration for much of the new-brutality film’s School of Cultural and mimesis of African-American culture.
